Democratic senators com plained particularly that the infor mation and testimony regarding the fiery end of the Branch Davidi- an compound in 1993 would im pede the separate investigation of the same matter by former Sen. John Danforth, who was appoint ed by Attorney General Janet Reno. “Let him file his report first,” Sen. Joseph Biden, D-DeL, told the committee. “We're going to run this simultaneously, after we did this in the House and in the Senate? They found nothing.” “This is not a fishing expedi tion,” Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chair of the subcommittee oversee ing the investigations, said. “Let’s just find out what the facts are.” Earlier this fall, after new reve lations about the FBI's use of force during the siege in Texas, Danforth complained twice to Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the Judiciary Com mittee chair, that Specter had sent aides to interview witnesses and secure evidence ahead of Danforth. Specter later said he would stay out of Danforth’s way. "This is not a fishing expedition. Lets just find out what the facts are” — Arlen Spector Senator, Pennsylvania As the independent investigator reviewed evidence in Waco yester day, the committee granted Specter's request for subpoenas of documents from Reno and Defense Secretary William Cohen. Also subpoenaed were 12 officials, including Texas Rangers and federal agents involved in the siege and its aftermath. Specter also won permission to issue subpoenas covering allega tions of China’s theft of U.S. nuclear technology from government re- scAivh Kills, thetransfeti lite technology to Chinjl cratic campaign finance!

I can’t. Good-bye." His mouth quivering and trying to hold hack tears. Lamb quickly told the warden, “Do it.” He took a deep gasp, coughed slightly, then gasped again before losing consciousness. Lamb was pro nounced dead at 6:19 p.m., six minutes after the lethal drugs began flowing into his arms. Lamb, 42, of San Jose, Calif., was the 30th con victed murderer to receive lethal injection in Texas this year and the second in as many days. Another execu tion is set for tonight. “I don’t like needles,” Lamb said in a death row in terview in which he admitted being scared. “It’s too late now,” he added. “I can sit here and cry un til the moon turns blue hut it’s not going to do any good. ” JWASI11NGTC [increasing m a study released Lamb, with arrests from coast tocoa caroerated worn demned for fatally shooting Jerry Chafin.j H rhe drug w portion.in' mi[ miles east ol Dallas Chafin s body v Sentencing Pro morning of Nov. 6, 1982, bo a cleaningw ing alternatives Five days later.

I never felt like my peers cared about me much, and I felt ignored. My life was a day by day exercise in boredom and repetition. Shortly before I entered college, I decided that I had enough of the daily bore that life seemed to be to me. I was sick and tired of the way life never changed, one miserable day after another, with nothing new or different to make life interesting. So I decided to make a change. I discovered that I could have friendships with people if I did what they did, went along with the crowd and did drugs, so that’s what I did. For 2 years of my life I lived with my drug habit, ajid then when I decided to quit, I found I couldn’t. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t drop the habit. I was addicted. I began praying to God, the God I believed in when I was really little, asking him to change me, because I couldn’t change myself. I felt absolutely hopeless, and the drugs seemed to have control over me. I eventually found myself in an AA meeting, the first of many that helped me regain my sobriety. It was a benefit for me to talk to people who knew what I was going through, and understood the grip that addiction can have on a person. While sobriety was very beneficial, I found that I needed something more. than.just freedom from drugs. What I needed was a God who offered forgiveness and mercy; someone to help me through my hurt and pain. I needed Jesus. Only He offers the true life and fulfilling love that we all look for. I am not perfect, and life is not always a bed of roses, but I now know that only Christ's love can bring true peace and unconditional acceptance.
